America feels like a country on the brink of an authoritarian takeover – Francine Prose – The Guardian
The story is not letting ourselves be distracted from the real and present threat to our democracy. Photograph: Adam Gray / APAmerica feels like a country on the brink of an authoritarian takeover
This is the news we should be paying attention to. At least for the moment, everything else is a distraction — Sun 25 Jan 2026 22.00 EST
When we talk about our inability to pay attention, to concentrate, we often mean and blame our phones. It’s easy, it’s meant to be easy. One flick of our index finger transports us from disaster to disaster, from crisis to crisis, from maddening lie to maddening lie. Each new unauthorized attack and threatened invasion grabs the headlines, until something else takes its place, and meanwhile the government’s attempts to terrorize and silence the people of our country continue.
So let me break it down. There is one story: our country is on the brink of an authoritarian takeover. In Minneapolis an innocent poet and an ER nurse at a VA hospital were both killed in cold blood by federal agents. It is happening now. Toddlers are being sent to detention centers; videos of their gyms for kids recall the youth choruses that the Nazis so proudly showed off at the Terezín concentration camp. Intimidation and violence are being weaponized against the citizens of Minneapolis, some of whom are afraid to leave their houses for fear of being beaten, arrested and shackled, regardless of whether they are US citizens or asylum seekers or people from another country peacefully living and working here for decades.
That is the news we should be paying attention to. At least for the moment, everything else is a distraction. I’m glad to have been informed about the heavy snow outside my window today and the local weather-travel advisory, but frankly, it’s snowed here before – so why is it leading the news?
Donald Trump’s inability to tell Greenland from Iceland during his speech at Davos is embarrassing, awful, sort of funny – but it’s hardly the first time he’s made a mortifying mistake. I too want the Epstein files released, I want to know who is guilty, I want justice and respect for the survivors. But unless those revelations bring down the perpetrators, it’s not – for the moment – the story.
The story is what’s happening in Minneapolis. And even that requires focus. Already the killing of Alex Pretti has partly diverted our attention from the killing of Renee Good.
The story – masked agents, arrests, violence, kidnappings, deportations without due process – is happening all over the country, but in smaller increments, without as much pushback, and so far without the death of two innocent, middle-class, white bystanders. The story is about how decent and unselfish Renee Good and Alex Pretti were and about the falsehoods being told about them.
The story is not letting ourselves be distracted from the real and present threat to our democracy. That threat is the story which our print, electronic and social media should be bannering at the top of every feed and every front page, every day. To consistently run that below the weather report is, quite frankly, to betray the struggles of the people of Minneapolis.
The story is what we do now to support our fellow Americans in the Midwest and to keep the violence and repression from spreading even further into our own streets and backyards. The story is avoiding the future that Stephen Miller and his minions are planning for us.
The story is how we do it: not long after the 2017 inauguration of Donald Trump, I wrote, in these pages, about our need to stage a national strike. I know now that I underestimated the difficulties – the amount of organization required, the need to strategize, the necessity to support and provide for people who will lose their livelihoods if they walk off the job. But many people are already scared to go to work or send their kids to school.

Grand Coteau Heritage & Cultural Centre: Shaunavon, SK
Saskatchewan towns the size of Shaunavon don’t usually have a museum. But Shaunavon does, and it’s not only open year-round, but is free for visitors!
Housed with the local art gallery, library, and visitor centre, there’s always something happening in this southwest Saskatchewan economic hub.

Small town museums often celebrate the names of people who’ve put them on a national–or international–map. In Shaunavon, that person is Hayley Wickenheiser.
Artifacts that belonged to Hayley Wickenheiser. Photo by Linda Aksomitis.Who’s Hayley Wickenheiser? She’s most noted for being a five-time Olympian athlete, winning four gold medals and one silver in ice hockey for Canada. She was also the first woman to play full-time professional men’s ice hockey. Indeed, some say she’s the “greatest woman’s ice hockey player of all time.”
“I have never been so proud to be Canadian! To stand there with my son Noah in my arms, the gold medal around my shoulders and the Canadian anthem playing was amazing. It was the fulfillment of all my childhood dreams growing up in a farming town called Shaunavon, Saskatchewan.”
~ Quote from Wickenheiser on Canada Gold
Wickenheiser was born in 1978 in Shaunavon. When did she start skating? At two! By the time she was five, she was playing on the boys’ hockey team. At 12, she moved to Calgary, playing in both girls’ leagues and boys’ leagues.
What was Hayley Wickenheiser’s nickname when she joined the Canadian National Women’s Hockey Team at age 15?The team nicknamed Hayley “High Chair Hayley!”
In 1998, when Hayley was 20, the Candian Women’s hockey team captured Silver in the Japan Olympics. Hayley stayed on the team for 23 years.
Hayley retired from hockey in 2017 and became a resident medical doctor. Her specialty? Emergency medicine. She also held a senior role with the NHL’s Toroto Maple Leaf hockey team.
She was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2019. In July 2022, Wickenheiser was named assistant general manager for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
What’s in the Shaunavon Museum?
The Grand Coteau Heritage & Cultural Centre is a small, but professionally curated museum in Shaunavon. It’s thematically divided into moments from the area’s past, covering its people and history with artifacts and signage.
Wildlife display at the museum. Photo by Linda Aksomitis.While the collection doesn’t go back as far as dinosaurs, the Natural History exhibit does have fossils from the area. Taxidermy mounts positioned in front of painted scenes portray the area’s wildlife today.
Fast Fact: The bison speciman displayed in the museum is from a herd in Wainwright, Alberta, in 1932. He's named "Frank" after Frank Bransted, Chairman of the Museum Board from 1936 - 1957.
The Local History Exhibit is another key area in the museum. It provides information on early town businesses, from the Crystal Bakery to the Grand Coteau General Store to Hillcrest Farms.
Fast Fact: In 1940 the Cyrstal Bakery supplied an average of 500 loaves per day in the winter and 700 per day in the summer!
In between, the museum covers early household appliances, communications, millinery styles, the RCMP, war veterans, and more. Some exhibits rotate, which keeps the museum new for visitors.

Linda’s Road Trip Tips
I visited Shaunavon for a critique session with my writers’ group, so spent four days in the community.
Pin me!While I really enjoy the Canalta Hotel chain on the prairies, the Canalta Hotel Shaunavon was booked during our visit. So, we stayed at the Bear’s Den Lodge. It was a budget-priced option, but comfortable.
And the dining? There are lots to choose from. I particularly enjoyed the Harvest Eatery, which serves what it describes as gourmet comfort food.
I highly recommend the Lake Diefenbaker Steelhead trout fillet–their spicy pickled peach relish is a tasty addition.
The T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, just 20 minutes away, is one of the southwest’s most popular summer attractions. It’s home to “Scotty,” the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus rex.
You can also see the Buzzard Coulee Meteorite that crashed near Buzzard Coulee in west-central Saskatchewan in 2008.
Who Should Visit the Grand Coteau Heritage & Cultural Centre?
The Grand Coteau Heritage & Cultural Centre (GCHCC) is about 45 km (28 miles) off of the Trans-Canada Highway in southwest Saskatchewan.
So, for those on a road trip who like to explore smaller communities, the town and museum are the perfect stop.
Anyone looking for prairie history will find some interesting artifacts and information at the museum.
I spent about an hour going through the collection, so a visit can provide a short break and stretch if you’re traveling.
GCHCC has various archival materials that researchers will find valuable. From its large collection of history books to the entire span of the Shaunavon Standard newspaper dating back to 1913, there’s lots of local history.
Pin me!For genealogy researchers, there’s also a collection of obituaries.
How Do You Visit the Shaunavon Museum?
The Shaunavon Museum is part of the town’s multi-purpose complex that also houses the library, art gallery, and visitor centre.
Parking: There's lots of free street parking at the museum.
Street Location: 401 – 3rd St West, Shaunavon, Saskatchewan.
The museum is open seasonally. You can check out the Grand Coteau Centre website for information on open days and hours.

A quotation from Thomas Carlyle
In that strange island Iceland, — burst up, the geologists say, by fire from the bottom of the sea; a wild land of barrenness and lava; swallowed many months of every year in black tempests, yet with a wild gleaming beauty in summertime; towering up there, stern and grim, in the North Ocean with its snow jokuls, roaring geysers, sulphur-pools and horrid volcanic chasms, like the waste chaotic battle-field of Frost and Fire; — where of all places we least looked for Literature or written memorials, the record of these things was written down.

Opinión | Que no le digan… | Censura y desmemoria
Una de las acepciones sobre censura: “es el control que se ejerce sobre la información y las ideas que circulan en una sociedad, con fines políticos, ideológicos, religiosos o morales”.
Por Mario A. Medina
El tema se ha vuelto a tocar en estos días a raíz de que, en Puebla, el congreso local aprobó la llamada “Ley de Ciberseguridad” que entró en vigor el 14 de junio pasado; penaliza insultos, injurias ofensas, agravios y vejaciones en redes sociales; su violación significaría penas de hasta tres años de prisión y multas de casi 40 mil pesos.
Tanto la secretaria de Gobernación, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, como la presidentA Claudia Sheinbaum, propusieron que dicha normatividad se revise y ambas externaron su convicción en contra de la censura.
Alejandro Armenta Mier, gobernador del estado declaró que la ley “no busca coartar la libertad de expresión, sino sancionar los ciberdelitos en Puebla; proteger a mujeres, niños y a las familias enteras; proteger a los niños, a mujeres; proteger la identidad”.
Un asunto que, sin lugar a duda, debe revisarse para evitar que un tema que efectivamente es un reclamo pueda ser utilizado por los gobernadores y políticos paraquerer castigar el trabajo periodístico, artístico, intelectual, etcétera.
Alejandro ArmentaEs grave, desde luego lo ocurrido en Campeche, donde la juez Guadalupe Martínez Taboada vinculó a proceso al periodista Jorge González Valdez por presuntos delitos de incitación al odio y a la violencia en agravio de la gobernadora de Campeche, Layda Sansores San Román; Le ha prohibido ejercer su profesión por dos años y ordenó cerrar la edición digital del periódico «TRIBUNA» por ese mismo lapso; fue sentenciado a pagar una indemnización de dos millones de pesos al director estatal de Comunicación Social Walther Patrón Bacab por presunto daño moral. Un asunto, insisto, de preocupación y de suma gravedad.
El periodista “habría difundido publicaciones que constituyen ataques sistemáticos hacia la mandataria estatal, incluyendo expresiones que de acuerdo con la queja apelan a su condición de mujer”.
Una cosa es cierta, la mayoría de los políticos del signo que usted quiera tienen la piel muy delgada, son intolerantes a que se les descubran sus desaciertos, errores, groserías y, desde luego, sus corruptelas; son intransigentes a la crítica.
Quien hoy en día se mete a la política debe saber y entender que debe tener la piel muy gruesa, pues va a ser objeto de todo tipo de críticas, de adentro y de afuera. El ex presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador se enfrentó, como ningún mandatario, a los medios de comunicación, a periodistas y analistas. Muy a su estilo se defendió de los ataques con o sin razón; los enfrentó de frente con nombres y apellidos. Nos pudieron gustar o no las formas, pero dio la cara, pues de aquellos enfrentó una guerra mediática y se defendió, mas nunca dio la orden de cerrar un medio o se le corriera a alguno de sus críticos, como sucedía antes. Como nunca hubo libertad plena de informar y opinar hasta el insulto.
Andrés Manuel López ObradorNuevamente la oposición recurre al mismo discurso ya gastado, baladí. Es una “estrategia para acabar con la democracia en México”; “un sello de la izquierda”, ha señalado la diputada local en la Cdmx, América Rangel, que, supone, va a asustar a la población con el “uy, ahí vine el lobo”: “México con Morena, va a ser igual que Cuba, Venezuela, Corea del Norte, que la URSS” (sí, que la URSS, país que ya no existe).
La desmemoria de la oposición política y mediática es preocupante, o mejor dicho convenenciera.
Olvidan, a propósito. “el día que los medios de comunicación callaron ante la violencia del sexenio de Felipe Calderón”.El 24 de marzo de 2011, 715 medios aceptaron la censura de Calderón para que no informaran de los asesinatos producto de su guerra contra el narcotráfico. «Ser parte de su estrategia» y así poder «autorregular» sus contenidos. (Proceso).
¿Se les olvida cuando Calderón “ordenó despedir a Aristegui por lo de su ebriedad? No salga ahora con sermones puritanos. No tenemos amnesia, escribió en su Twitter, la periodista Dolia Estévez. (@DoliaEstevez) el 26 de agosto de 2002.
Hablando de perfiles autoritarios. “¿Recuerdas lo que hiciste con Carmen Aristegui cuando en su programa hablaron del estado en el que permanentemente te encuentras?) anotó en la misma red social el corresponsal en Washington Jesús Esquivel (@JJesusEsquivel), dirigiéndose a Felipe Calderón.
MensajeDaniel Lizárraga le recordó a Calderón cuando “el equipo de comunicación presidencial ordenó que la revista Proceso no cubriera las giras del exmandatario; las portadas del semanario que documentaba la “guerra contra el narco”. Se les olvida de las advertencias a José Gutiérrez Vivó por serle incómodo al panista.
La escritora y periodista argentina Olga Wornat, en entrevista con Julio Hernández, le dijo: “En aquel momento con García Luna y sus sicarios y con el conocimiento de Felipe Calderón, lo digo con todas las letras, Felipe Calderón sabía que yo estaba amenazada de muerte por García Luna, que ahora se haga el tonto y que haga silencio, él nunca sabe nada, pero por supuesto que sabía”.
En el gobierno de Enrique Peña Nieto también se cocieron habas. El 21 abril 2029, el portal SinEmbargo publicó: “entre 2012 y 2018, el Gobierno federal en México recurrió en decenas de ocasiones a Google, Twitter y Facebook para pedir la remoción de contenidos publicados por usuarios. De acuerdo con el informe anual de Artículo 19, “estas solicitudes se generaron mediante procedimientos opacos y sinapego a la Ley, lo que pudoderivar en censura”.
Artículo 19, destacó que el gobierno priísta solicitó decenas de remociones de contenido en Google y otras plataformas digitales con base en (presuntos) daños por difamación, uso no autorizado de propiedad intelectual, acoso e incluso por motivos de seguridad nacional, con un solo propósito: censurar.
Enrique Peña Nieto | @SociedadN_En un trabajo de investigación documental de un grupo de estudiantes de la Green Hills School, “La Censura… perdona a los curvos”, demostraron que tanto el gobierno de Calderón como el de Peña Nieto, usaron la censura como “una herramienta para cubrir la corrupción con el objetivo de apaciguar la reacción de un pueblo que no tiene suficiente análisis crítico”; uno y otro pretendieron controlar los contenidos de la red(es) a través de las leyes secundarias, como la “polémica Reforma de las Telecomunicaciones”. La propuesta -dice el texto- “parece extraída de un manual totalitario”.
La desmemoria que padece la oposición cuando afirma que el gobierno de Sheinbaum censura y que vamos al totalitarismo, es tramposa. Por ejemplo, la conductora del noticiario en MVS-Radio, Pamela Cerdeira, al entrevistar a Pedro Cárdenas de Artículo 19, afirmó un tanto escandalizada: “México vive un momento crítico para la libertad de prensa”. Lo dijo en los mismos micrófonos de donde se le corrió a Carmen Aristegui por preguntar por la salud etílica de Calderón.
Sí, lamentable lo de Campeche y de otros estados, donde efectivamente morenistas, panistas y priístas, buscan censurar para callar plumas para que no los toquen, pero es doloso afirmar que lo de Campeche, Puebla o el tribunal electoral de Tamaulipas parta de una convicción del gobierno federal. No. Nada tiene que ver en esto el gobierno federal.
La censura, en buena parte, y lo saben los periodistas y los políticos, ha sido producto de los convenios de publicidad (“No te pago para que me pegues”: José López Portillo) y de la orden de Los Pinos (PRI y PAN) que ordenaban callar y, claro, de lo grueso o delgado del sobre amarillo.
Que no le cuenten…
“México el país con mayor avance contra la pobreza entre sus miembros”: OCDE. Otro dato del mismo organismo: “En México prevalece la alta confianza de la ciudadanía sobre su gobierno y su capacidad para enfrentar los problemas entre generaciones”.

Scavenger Hunt round 45
I’ve been a very avid participant to the Photography Scavenger Hunt in the past, but I had let a few rounds go by recently for reasons that are not entirely clear to me either. For this round, I decided to get back on the horse and to submit pictures; we went to Iceland this summer, and I mostly submitted shots from that trip, including some “found shots” shoehorned into the theme after the fact! We did have to submit a grid of pictures as a bonus as well, though, so I reframed/cropped all the pictures so that they could fit on said grid.
In the order of the reveals, here are the pictures I submitted. The headings have links to the albums of my fellow Scavengers.
Asphalt was not a found shot, I knew the word was on the list, and I hunted it down specifically. When we were near a geothermal plant on the sixth day of our trip, this road going upwards seemingly alone in that terrain caught my eye, and I took multiple shots of it. I liked this one best, with the large white vehicle in the foreground – we’ve seen a lot of these during our trip.
Another one that was less “found shot” and more “I have bleak on my list, and this is actually pretty bleak.” That’s one of the recent lava fields near Grindavík, which we saw on the last day of our trip. Volcanoes are fascinating and terrifying, and Iceland is a constant reminder of that.
Well, that one is the only one that I did not shoot in Iceland; I came home, and I had nothing that I could make fit from that trip. So I got my tripod and light box out, a large water recipient, and some blue ink, and I made some ink patterns. It’s honestly quick and dirty for studio work, which makes it somewhat unsatisfying, but better a mid pic than no pic! 😀
I was probably thinking more of “bleak” than of “goth” when I took this picture on our day 10 on the black sand beach, but I think it worked well for Goth as well. I would like to point out that this picture is NOT processed as black and white and that it is indeed color photography!
This one was part found shot and part not. I didn’t have the word in my mind at all when I took the picture (I was more interested in the geyser!) but I knew exactly what to use when I saw the word again – small faraway people looking like ants! And a lot of them too. This was on the last day of our trip.
Mystery was absolutely a found shot. I had put that in “this is probably a Scavenger picture” when I sorted through my travel photos because the way the lava shows through the shadows makes it very difficult for me to see anything else than a fox with fiery eyes… but it’s “just” the way lava fell there. Also this was during the Lava show part of our visit on the 10th day.
Jet was pretty much a given: I’m travelling by plane, surely I’ll be able to snap a jet picture of some kind. Hence, I have a bit more plane picz than usual – and I really liked this one 🙂
Horses in Iceland are very photogenic, and I went through my horse pictures to find one for the theme. It was harder than I expected because the best horses didn’t necessarily work background-wise, but I eventually decided on this one.
Shadow was the hardest word of this Hunt for me, and I’m not very convinced with what I ended up submitting – this is the entrance of a small cave that we popped by almost by chance (tiny place, just a couple of interesting holes 🙂 ). But it definitely has a large shadow considering the lack of light!
The final word was Grid, as a bonus to show all your pictures in a single one. I would have much preferred having all Iceland pictures, but Ink and Jet are a bit the odds one out (for Jet I probably had alternatives if it had been the only odd one out). I had laid out my grid before I did the processing of the other pictures, because it constrained the ratios of my crops; I considered going for all squares, but I felt like the longer format worked better.
And there, another round done! We’ll see how the next one goes 🙂

I had two remaining #GrannySmith #Apples from the tree (I ate the 1st one) & chopped them into little bits, added apple brandy, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest & lemon juice. Heated it in a sauce pan for 10-15 minutes.
It smells SO GOOD!
Matt made yogurt from an Icelandic yogurt I like & gallon of whole milk. The money you save making your own yogurt! I’ve been making little fruit compotes w/ seasonal fruit for it. This apple compote is a knock-out! #KitchenWitch
